The upcoming 2023-2024 financial year will be a golden moment for working people.

In recent years the rat race has only intensified. Most employers now hire from a bachelor’s degree upwards, leaving many diploma-level students hemmed in by qualification requirements — unsure of their career direction, drawn to higher-paying roles yet unable to clear the entry bar, and repeatedly knocked back in the job market.

by

On 27 April, the Minister for Home Affairs mentioned at the NPC that by the end of 2023 all temporary skilled visa holders would have a clear pathway to PR. At the press conference, however, the Minister only touched on this briefly, with no detail whatsoever — not even clarifying exactly which visas the term “temporary skilled visa” covers.
